Tony Allen!

Let's hear predictions -- what's Tony going to show us tonight?

5 pts, 3 reb, 1 ast, 1 stl, 1 trip over his own feet on a breakaway following said steal.

Don't forget a few charges!

do feel free to be specific!     I'm going with several fouls, 1-3 shooting, one steal before he goes for a sit-down with Doc.

get a rebound! geez

OK-what about number of TOs for TA?  I'm going to go with 4 if he gets many more minutes.

[celticinorlando]

so tony comes on the floor and he becomes the go to guy???

Easy haters, TA is going to be rough for awhile.  If you want Ray and Paul to get rest, you're going to have to deal with it.

I love how a few posessions ago during that scrap for the rebound, Mikki Moore got pushed all the way out of bounds.

We need to start being agressive on the boards.

I happen to like Tony, just trying to be realistic.  Don't want him to feel overwhelmed by my expectations.

You do not need to worry, I think people are more than used by now. He's been rough for awhile since entering the league.

i hate pachula...he is in my non-fav 5

[Drucci]

The Celtics got outrebounded, they have to do a better job on the glass.

Anyway, I really like the connection between Marbury and House, it seems like every time Marbury passes the ball to Eddie it results in two or three points.

[illantari]

Other than mild rebounding failure that wasn't a bad 1Q.  It's sort of sad, but I kinda expect ridiculously slow starts from this team recently.

[celticinorlando]

hawks getting too many second shots for my liking

[Thruthelookingglass]

Speaking of not-hating, I'm really thankful Mikki Moore's on the team.  In rotten circumstances he's giving it 100 percent, and his 100 percent is getting more valuable every game.

Aren't you one of the ones always carping about too many minutes for Paul and Ray?  Let me guess, you think Pruitt, Giddens and Walker should be playing.
